Hello and welcome to day 27, the last day of the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop.

Today's featured designer isLiz of Liz Scott Designs.Hop on over to her blog to see what she has designed.

The quote of the day is a long one - but worth reading.Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.Robert Fulghum

A Crayola Bomb - now there's an idea Mr. President.If only he read my blog.

Sandy,Thank you for your time and generosity in providing the daily posts during the blog hop. The daily quotes were fun and inspirational. I appreciated knowing that I could come to your blog and be directed to each day's featured designer.

I have loved stopping by your blog each and every morning for my five minutes of inspiration. Your quotes have been wonderful and just when I thought you couldn't find a better one from the days before you came up with this one. If only the world would take your advice.

I have stopped by your blog every day and I enjoyed your quotes immensely. This is my favorite and if only the world could see it! I also am looking forward to getting your block for Moda's mystery block of the month.

Sandy ... Everyday I would visit your blog, read the thought for the day and know that you would have a link to the designer blog for the day. Thank you very much and I have always loved your fabric lines. I can hardly wait for Sassy! Thanks tons!

SandyThank you for the wonderful blog. Each and every day I would visit and read the thought for the day. I am a huge fan of all your fabric. I can't tell you how many quilts I have made with your lines over the years. I have the latest fall pumpkin/flowers wall hanging in my living room right now. You are a true inspiration. I love the crayon idea, one can't help but smile when they have a new box of crayons. Thanks again!

About Sandy

I have always had an interest in art and sewing. My mother taught me how to sew at a young age. In high school I made my own clothes and made greeting cards for my friends. Later on I made cards for my boyfriend, who later became my husband. On the advice of my high school counselor I did not pursue a career in art. I was told that an "A" in high school art does not make you an artist. In 1988 I set out to prove that counselor wrong (or right) and started a greeting card company, " My Dream Designs." In 1992 I combined my love of art and sewing skills and the pattern company "Pieces From My Heart" was born. In spring of 1994, I attended my first international Quilt Market in St. Louis, where I was discovered by Moda Fabrics. Many fabric lines later, I am thrilled to be designing fabric for Moda. Designing fabric allows me to work with different color pallets, which is my favorite part of designing. I reside in Algona, Iowa with my husband Bruce. We have two grown children, Anthony and Abby. Pieces From My Heart Books and Patterns are available at your local quilt shop or go to www.piecesfrommyheart.net
